Quite confused on who this book is targeted for. The poems switch back and forth between referring women in a third person and the author talking to readers directly. If it's for men, it feels like a strategy guide to getting women to love them or how to put up with them if they are 'difficult'; like trying to find ways to humanize them because they're not human enough on their own.

"She can be difficult, there are times her words will be heavy, with stubbornness, her tongue will be sharper than a new sword and attitude like a two-year-old. Aren’t we all difficult at times?
Isn’t she human like everyone else?"

If this is aimed for women, I either felt like a petulant child being talked down to like the poem above, but also that so much of my self-worth is wrapped up in how I love, how my love is used by my partners, how my love is my self-worth.

"Desiring a man
whose efforts speak
in a higher tone
than his promises,
isn’t too much to ask for."

Other than that, a lot of the poems are not original. I feel like I've read them before or they've been slightly recycled by the internet for a changed word or two. Unfortunately, if they were supposed to really touch the heart, it didn't work.
